LaPosch – Living Lands: Hotel in Biberwier, Austria

A Natural Haven at the Foot of the Zugspitze

At the foot of the Zugspitze, LaPosch – Living Lands unfolds as a vast garden retreat in the heart of the Austrian Tyrol. Set across 65,000 square meters, the resort reimagines the Alpine escape around a simple idea: creating more space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature. Here, the experience extends far beyond the privacy of each individual accommodation. Across 33,000 square meters of gardens, the landscape evolves with the seasons. Wild meadows, a mountain stream, a crystal-clear lake, and rewilded areas create a natural playground to explore at your own pace — whether wandering, picking and harvesting, or simply settling into the landscape and observing the rhythms of nature. It is an approach that places the living world at the heart of the stay.

Architecture in Harmony with the Landscape

LaPosch – Living Lands retains the spirit of the private mountain retreat that has always defined the property, while embracing a broader vision centered around nature. Green roofs, wood, stone, and other natural materials blend discreetly into the surroundings, while the architecture is designed to open generously onto the landscape. The result is intentionally understated. From the interiors to the terraces, the mountains remain the focal point. Rather than competing with its surroundings, the architecture follows the landscape, creating an atmosphere that feels contemporary, warm, and deeply Alpine.

26 Private Retreats Between Forest, Meadow, and Mountain

The resort now features 16 chalets and 10 Logen, each designed as a private retreat where freedom and comfort go hand in hand. The 16 chalets are set around the Kristallsee, the meadows, and the stream, while preserving the sense of privacy that has long defined LaPosch. The new Logen introduce two distinct settings: six Waldbach-Logen, located directly along the Loisach River, and four Himmelslogen, situated in the Torhaus. Each offers its own relationship with nature and the surrounding landscape. The largest of the new Logen spans 233 square meters and features its own private garden, swimming pool, and sauna. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and contemporary, with natural materials and generous living spaces taking center stage. The philosophy remains simple: to give guests the freedom to experience their stay at their own pace, in surroundings that naturally invite them to slow down.

A Living Garden to Explore

One of the defining new features of LaPosch – Living Lands is its extensive garden landscape. Across 33,000 square meters, nature becomes an integral part of the guest experience. In the kitchen garden, guests can create their own herbal tea blend. With the on-site beekeeper, they can discover the world of bees and learn how honey is produced. At the “Atelier der kleinen Dinge,” flowers, herbs, and natural essences are transformed into soaps, candles, and fragrances. These experiences are simple, sensory, and deeply connected to the land. They encourage guests to work with their hands, observe the changing seasons, and rediscover the pleasure of simple, meaningful things.

The Gartenbad: A New Wellness Ritual

Wellness takes on a new dimension at the Gartenbad, an immersive space conceived as a living greenhouse where light, warmth, water, and vegetation come together. At its heart is a 50-meter heated outdoor pool, opening onto the mountains with spectacular views toward the Zugspitze. The experience continues with WATSU, a contemporary fitness area, saunas, a steam room, and a private spa suite designed for moments of complete retreat. Treatments draw inspiration from the natural cycle of red clover — growth, bloom, rest, and regeneration. Families also have their own dedicated area, allowing guests of all ages to enjoy the wellness experience.

A Culinary Experience Guided by the Seasons

At LaPosch – Living Lands, the culinary experience follows the rhythm of the gardens, the seasons, and the surrounding region. At Walters, refined seasonal cuisine takes center stage. Klaras offers a more spontaneous and comforting approach to cooking, while Flora Bar creates botanically inspired drinks and cocktails. For those who prefer complete privacy, meals can also be served directly in the chalets and Logen. From breakfast to afternoon cake, the service is designed to adapt to each guest’s rhythm. Kuchenbote brings a touch of sweetness to the stay, while Genussbote allows guests to enjoy selected products and culinary creations in the privacy of their own retreat.

A Different Way to Experience the Mountains

LaPosch – Living Lands does not seek to recreate the traditional Alpine resort experience. Here, the mountains are experienced at a slower pace: beside the lake, among the gardens, by the fire, over a meal, or from a terrace overlooking the peaks. Summer and winter alike, the resort evolves with its surroundings and encourages guests to slow down rather than fill every moment with activity. A walk through the gardens, a swim overlooking the Zugspitze, time spent at the Gartenbad, or simply the pleasure of doing nothing become different ways of immersing yourself in the landscape. With its new accommodations, living gardens, expanded wellness offering, and more immersive approach to nature, LaPosch – Living Lands enters a new chapter in its story. An Alpine retreat for those seeking not simply a destination, but a place to reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with the natural world.
